The Daughters of St. Paul of Kenya have relaunched the initiative, Bible Days, so dear to the heart of Blessed James Alberione, who often said: “The Bible must penetrate the masses,” and, “May the Bible be the heart of every family.”
During the 1990’s, Sr. Maria Rosa Ballini, an intrepid FSP missionary, organized numerous Bible Days and Bible Weeks in many different parts of English-speaking Africa, but after her death the initiative lost some of its impetus due to a lack of personnel. Our sisters have now relaunched this project, characterized by an intensive program of catechesis, formative meetings for various age groups, and prayer sessions. This second kick-off, entitled, The Word of God in the Family, was held in St. Peter Claver Parish, Nairobi, from 5-6 April, with the collaboration of the parish pastoral team and the wholehearted participation of the parishioners.
The rich program of activities concluded with the bestowal of a certificate of attendance on all the participants, which reinforced their enthusiasm and prompted them to reconfirm their promise to have the Bible enthroned in their homes and to read it every day.
